About

Rollin Yeatts is the former lead columnist for North Carolina basketball on B/R, now working as an independent writer for hire. He is also a member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NSSA) and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). While his main subject remains college basketball, his expertise flows into the NBA, NFL and college football.

No problem, Rollin. It can be tough to keep up with that kind of stuff, especially during this time of year when you have guys declaring for the NBA, players being dismissed and recruits getting ready to enroll in classes. Great slideshow, though. I look forward to reading more of your work soon!

I said the other day in a comment that do we really need another Kansas.UNC again didnt they just play last year - same beacket. I said that the Kansas fans hate Roy and he insulted the team with Hansbrough, Ellington by sitting in the Kansas section with his wife rooting for Kansas the game before they met(If my memory hasn't failed me) a responder called me an idiot because he loves Roy Thank you for making me realize I am correct there will always be bad feelings for Roy yet the committee seems to enjoy it. I love the Heels and have for years. There are 3 other 8 seeds who could have been put there. I think it is really unfair because of the history. Show me anywhere else in the brackets where two schools with this history are constantly put together.

You're welcome, Rollin! Thanks for yet another clean article with excellent content. I was a little nervous at the beginning of ACC play and thought Paige's game was just too limited, but I think he's gaining confidence and starting to show what he can do. As you said, it's a lot easier when you're feeding Tyler Zeller instead of Desmond Hubert. While we won't be bringing home a national title this year, I really do think these guys have the potential to get it together and put on an exciting postseason.

Picking the ACC in the preseason was a nightmare. I was less optimistic because of how much we lost from last year's team, so I had Duke first, NC State second and Carolina sixth. FSU has been much worse than I thought, and Wake Forest has been better than I predicted. Of course, a ton can between now and Selection Sunday.
